Justin Jefferson
WR - Minnesota Vikings
2024 Outlook
Justin Jefferson is not present for the Vikings’ voluntary offseason workouts.
Fantasy Impact
Jefferson continues to await a contract extension from the Vikings. With the workouts being voluntary, he will not be fined. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on Jefferson’s status as we get close to training camp.
The Minnesota Vikings reportedly have no plans of trading Justin Jefferson.
Fantasy Impact
With the departure of Kirk Cousins, rumors have heated up of Jefferson potentially being moved but it appears that won't be the case. Sam Darnold is currently the starter for the Vikings, but we still have a lot of offseason left including the NFL Draft. This remains a situation to monitor between Jefferson and the Vikings.
Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said trading Justin Jefferson is "not something that has crossed his mind."
Fantasy Impact
There have been rumors across social media about Jefferson potentially being traded this offseason, but Adofo-Mensah shot those rumors down. The big question for Jefferson will be how Minnesota addresses the quarterback situation this offseason.
Justin Jefferson hauled in 12 of his team-leading 14 targets for 192 yards and one touchdown in the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Jefferson continued a strong stretch in the Minnesota passing attack, recording at least five receptions on at least 10 targets in each of his last four games for the Vikings. The superstar wideout still had a solid season despite missing time due to injury, finishing with 68 receptions for 1,074 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games this season.
Justin Jefferson turned 10 targets into five catches for 59 yards during the Vikings' 33-10 loss to the Packers in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Jefferson simply couldn't get on the same page with quarterbacks Jaren Hall and Nick Mullens, who each played one half. The star pass-catcher will rank as a high-end fantasy WR2 for Week 18, assuming Mullens draws the start under center.
